The Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation (French: Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson), also known as Fondation HCB, is an art gallery and non-profit organisation in Paris that was established to preserve and show the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Martine Franck, and show the work of others. It was set up in 2003 by the photographer and painter Cartier-Bresson, his wife, also a photographer, Franck, and their daughter, Mélanie Cartier-Bresson.
The Foundation hosts four solo exhibitions per year by a variety of photographers, painters, sculptors, and illustrators. Agnès Sire is its artistic director and François Hébel its director.[2][3]
Mission
The Foundation's mission is to preserve the archives of Henri Cartier-Bresson[4] and Martine Franck, and show their work and the work of others.[5][6] It also exists to help researchers and curators to work with those archives.[5]
Exhibitions
The Foundation hosts four solo exhibitions per year by a variety of photographers, painters, sculptors, and illustrators.[5]
The inaugural exhibition at the Rue des Archives venue, in November 2018, was Martine Franck – A Retrospective, which then toured to Musée de l'Élysée in Switzerland, and Fotomuseum Antwerp in Belgium.[7][8][9][10]
Archive
Cartier-Bresson and Franck's archives consist of over 50,000 prints and 200,000 negatives,[11] as well as all kinds of documents.[12] Prior to 2018, the archives were scattered over four sites,[13] but since then they have all been housed in the new building.[11]
History
The Foundation was set up by Cartier-Bresson, Franck and Mélanie Cartier-Bresson.[4] Cartier-Bresson gave his personal collection of his photographs to the Foundation.[4] It opened in 2003 in a renovated 19th-century building at 2 Impasse Lebouis in the Montparnasse district of Paris.[2][4] Between 2003 and 2018 it had 100,000 visitors a year.[6]
In November 2018 it moved to 79 Rue des Archives, in the Marais district of Paris;[6][14] a tall, narrow atelier in a 1913 building.[15] The new building has significantly more exhibition and archive space than the previous, allowing for four exhibitions a year instead of three.[2]
Organisation
The non-profit Foundation is privately funded.[5] A proportion of funds come from an endowment left by Franck, who died in 2012.[2]
From 2003 Agnès Sire was its director.[16] In November 2017 Sire became artistic director and François Hébel was appointed as director.[2][16][17]
HCB Award
The Foundation issues the HCB Award.[5][18]
